    Technology Industry Stock Price Prediction Based on OLS, Random Forest, and Extreme Gradient Boosting

    Contemporarily, the marriage of artificial computer intelligence and the financial stock market has gained increasing interest in recent years. In recent years, forecasting stock prices has also been a more prevalent topic of conversation. Investors lack a coherent knowledge of the model mechanism and prediction results behind stock price forecasts. Hence, this paper will examine Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, the three largest technology businesses. The three models OLS, Random Forest, and XGBoost were used to predict and evaluate historical data from the past five years. The OLS model has a superior performance structure when dealing with data sets with low data frequency, and its anticipated outcomes are also more accurate, according to the research. In addition, different machine learning models are employed for diverse data sets to produce predictions, hence enhancing the accuracy and dependability of the future predictions. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of investor investments in stocks and researcher studies theories and models.

    Identifying Financial Report Frauds

    Misreporting numbers in a company’s financial statements is not negligible, as manipulations will not reflect a reliable disclosure. With financial manipulation becoming more and more regular, it is obvious that solving financial manipulation is an issue that needs to be addressed gently. It becomes a necessity to find techniques or mechanisms that can effectively identify the potential of financial report fraud, increase the credibility of the corporation and boost the confidence of investors. In this paper, we argue that the M-score and F-score as two reliable tools for predicting the possibilities of financial manipulations. In this essay, we will introduce the background and principles of these two mechanisms, then verify their reliability and effectiveness on sample Us-listed Chinese companies, which include those associated with financial report frauds in the past. In addition, we will lay out our discovery and full verifying procedure to help readers have a better understanding of our research and perspectives.

    Company Bankruptcy Prediction

    Following the founding and operation of a corporation, the biggest challenge it faces is the risk of bankruptcy, so how to prevent, controlling, and analyze the causes of bankruptcy is one of the most critical tasks for every company. As we all know, many factors affect corporate bankruptcy, and most studies are based on a unilateral or small range of factors set to study its impact on bankruptcy. Based on the data provided by Taiwan Economic Journal from 1999 to 2009, this paper adopts univariate and multivariate analysis models to analyze the data. A 3Comparative analysis, Normality test, T-test, non-parametric test, ANOVA test, Factor analysis and logistics were carried out using SPSS auxiliary tools Regression (Regression) controls relatively comprehensive factors that affect a company's bankruptcy from an overall perspective. It aims to demonstrate the selection of bankruptcy factors and analysis ideas. After analysis, we conclude that through the research and analysis, we have a new understanding of the causes of corporate bankruptcy. We find the four most important factors affecting corporate bankruptcy. Namely, ROAC before interest and depreciation before interest, Liability to Equity, Total assets to GNP price, and No credit interval, In addition, many single factors may have no impact on a company's bankruptcy. However, when they coexist with other factors, they will have a chain effect, resulting in even multiple amplification of the risk of bankruptcy. Therefore, different from the specific analysis of the impact of single factors on the bankruptcy of a company, this paper extracts the primary factors and takes the analysis of the relationship between individual factors as a specific example by showing the research perspective of innovation to propose the actual operation of a company from the macro and micro aspects, that is, to clarify which departments and decisions to pay special attention to in daily operation.

    Stock Price Prediction Using Stepwise Regression and Improved with Factor Analysis

    Owing to volatility in stock markets, it is quite elusive to forecast stock prices. Albeit, sometimes regular patterns are manifested in stock prices and a variety of factors are proved to be competent to determine stock prices partly. Hence, using stepwise regression on historical stock price data, this paper proposes determining similar patterns in stock prices and exploring potential rules to select the main factors that can affect stock prices significantly while taking all factors into account. Difference analysis is also employed to probe possible correlations in the data. Eventually, this paper tries to improve stock price prediction using factor analysis and manages to achieve higher accuracy.

    The Impact of Customer and Marketer Psychology on Making Business Decisions

    This research uses the literature research method, the case study method, and the qualitative analysis method as research methods to analyze the influence of customer psychology and marketing psychology on business decision-making through four aspects: stock investment selection, necessity purchases, marketing, and discretionary expenditure. Meanwhile, the author chose the specific period of the epidemic because the social background caused people's psychological fluctuations, which have significant implications for business decisions. The delayed investment brought on by the pandemic affects aggregate supply and aggregate demand, and while the impact may take some time to be apparent, the magnitude of the impact depends on the scale and duration of the outbreak. Through analysis, enterprises need to put valuable customers at the center of business decisions as the basis of business decisions, so that businesses can focus on exploring ways to develop in unknown areas.

    Application of DCF Financial Valuation Model - Taking BYD as an Example

    With the rapid development of modern financial industry, the valuation methods for modern enterprises are becoming more and more diverse. However, the DCF financial model is still a relatively common and accurate one. This paper will adopt the DCF valuation method, which is one of the cash flow discounting-based methods, to valuate a Chinese new energy enterprise called BYD. The result of the valuation is 7.39 trillion yuan, which is about 0.6 trillion from the actual result. The result is slightly different from the normal valuation, because it is still affected by the fixed debt and the estimation error of the future inflation rate and China's growth rate.

    1990 Japan Economic Crisis

    What can each country learn from this? How can economic crises be effectively avoided? When an economic crisis occurs, what can be done to avoid adopting the wrong policies? This paper is based on the economic crisis that occurred in Japan in the 1990s because of the rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen following the signing of the Plaza Agreement. The paper is divided into four sections to analyze the Japanese economic crisis of 1990. It describes the following questions: what led to the crisis in Japan; what impact the crisis had on Japan; what methods the Japanese government used during the crisis and what lessons the crisis brought; what each country can learn from it; and whether they can do better than the Japanese government did when it faced the economic crisis in 1990. Through the study, this paper finds that the Japanese government in 1990 did not immediately deal with and make adjustment plans when faced with the crisis. Secondly, it maintained an optimistic attitude. This is what led to the creation of the economic crisis. And this economic crisis pressed the pause button on Japan, which was growing at a fast pace, and stagnated the Japanese economy for 10 years. The effects of Japan's high ageing population and high divorce rate in that period continue to this day and seriously affect a country's economic development.

    Revelation and Suggestions for Businesses Through Self-gift Consumption

    Nowadays, consumer behavior is no longer just to meet the basic needs of life, but is seen as a way of dealing with emotions. Gifts are no longer just given to others, and more and more people are eager to buy gifts for themselves. Competition in society is increasingly stimulating, and fear or anxiety has become an indispensable part of life. To alleviate stress or provide self-motivation, and empower themselves to face the challenges of work and life, the frequency of self-giving is increasing. Merchants should pay attention to this changing consumption trend and actively change some controllable external factors, such as store decoration, lighting, music, etc., which subtly affect consumers' shopping. They should try to increase the frequency and frequency of consumers' self-gifts as much as possible, thereby winning over competitors in commercial competition.

    The Impact of CEO Change on Enterprise Performance

    The chief executive officer (CEO) is the enterprise's leader and plays a crucial role in business growth. Thus, the impact of the CEO changeover on the company and the selection of a suitable replacement are equally crucial considerations. This research utilizes data from Shanghai and Shenzhen-listed corporations. Using China's shares from 2010 to 2019 as the primary sample and earnings per share (EPS) as the performance indicator, we examine the influence of CEO turnover and succession sources on the company's performance. This research examines the pertinent literature and concludes that there are numerous elements that influence corporate performance, such as CEO turnover, firm size, debt ratio, etc. Several control variables are selected to develop an econometric model in order to control the influence of other factors affecting independent variables and dependent variables. This paper focuses on empirical analysis, does descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression analysis, and employs the PSM-DID model for robustness testing in order to investigate the effect of CEO change on firm performance. After accounting for the endogenous or self-selection bias of the control sample, the study indicated that CEO turnover has a detrimental effect on company performance. From the standpoint of succession types, the corporate performance of listed companies with external successors is inferior to that of publicly traded companies with internal successors. On the basis of the above empirical findings, this study makes related recommendations for the current corporate management practice in China.
